The Amazing Water Molecule
The water molecule, one of the most important and beneficial compounds known to
man and to all living things for that matter
...
Since we are on the topic of water, you may be asking yourself, what is water even made
up of? Good question, water is formed when two hydrogen atoms react with one oxygen atom
using a substantial amount of energy so that the atoms rearrange to fit in alignment
...

Water is commonly known around the science world and the real world as well as H2O (2
hydrogen atoms & 1 oxygen atom) so, the water's formula tells you the chemical structure of the
molecule
...
Well, we know what water is made out of now but, what the heck
does it do? What do living things use water for? All living things, every one of them, need water
for the chemical reactions that are going on in the body or structure 24/7
...
Water is very important to plants during photosynthesis because, water
makes up a big chunk of the process, just look at the chemical formula
...
As you can see, without
water, the photosynthesis process would not work meaning that the plants would not give off
oxygen gas, the thing that us humans need to survive
...
In humans, water
carries the necessary nutrients to cells, flushes waste and harmful toxins out of the body, and
regulates body temperature for example, water makes sweat to keep a person cool in warm
conditions A
...
A homeostasis
...
The liver most
importantly, consists of 97% water which is why serious alcoholics sometimes are diagnosed with
liver failure because alcohol is dehydrating and sucks up the liver's water leaving it damaged and
not capable of performing its required functions
...
If the body doesn't receive enough water, it will
become dehydrated causing fatigue, nausea, severe headache, and bloating
...
This condition causes the kidneys
to become “drowned” in the mass consumption of water in which the kidneys cannot flush the
water quick enough
...
Every once in a while, on the news you hear about stupid people out there who like to
test their limits and drink insane amounts of water either for competitions or just “the fun of it”
...
Water is like the “sweet tooth” molecule, you have to
have it but, you can't have too much because it can harm your health, and you can't have to little
because you need it in your life
